Hired out a Timberwolf TW13/75G I think it was, needed something for chipping up some Eucalyptus in an awkward garden. £50 per day and what a total waste of money! anything over an inch just bounced off the blades and anything under just sat in the shute. Plus it may be narrow enough to get through a gate but took two men to haul it up the garden. I honestly could have carried the amount of brash it chewed up down the garden to the trailer in a quarter of the time, and the chip was course looking, told the customer they'd have some nice fine chip for the flowerbeds, I'd have made better looking chip if i'd taken an axe to the brash, certainly would have been faster. Are there any micro chippers with a better design that helps pull the brash in?

We hired that model from time to time ten years or so ago, it was ok if the blades were sharp but useless if they weren't!

my little Hyundai is so much nicer to use and I'd say all the other similar priced ones would be similar, with the cs100 types better again?

still not the easiest thing to move on your own, but doable.

Heres a snippet of what the CS100 can handle...

that looks a hell of a lot better than what I was using, apart from its performance, the feed shute was too high and the outlet shute was far too low, you'd be lucky to shoot the chip into a wheelbarrow.

Hello, I have read the whole of this thread, thanks for the information.

I am interested in the Peruzzo tracked chipper as it should be perfect for me if it is reliable. 

If anyone has any experience with it could you let me know what you think? Thanks.
